Where the data comes from

• Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika data are provided by SINAN as a notification form that feeds a municipal database, which is then consolidated at the state level and finally, federally by the Ministry of Health. Only a fraction of these cases are laboratory confirmed, most receive final classification based on clinical and epidemiological criteria. From the notified cases, the incidence indicators that feed the InfoDengue are calculated.
• InfoDengue has partnered with the Dengue Observatory, that captures and analyzes tweets from geolocalized people for the mention of dengue symptoms on social media.
• Weather and climate data are obtained from REDEMET in the airports all over Brazil.
• Epidemiological indicators require population size. Demographic data of Brazilian cities are updated each year in Infodengue using estimates IBGE.
